This may not have been a burning issue in the past but, with Win XP going unsupported, there are many Celeron/Pentium M processor systems (concurrent with Win XP). that are now looking for easy solutions. I am in exactly that position and have never touched any flavour of Linux before. I needed something reasonably well packaged without a huge learning curve up front.
I tried various other flavours of Linux (including Lubuntu 12.04) and none of them really floated my boat but then I found the nonpae 12.04 desktop build mentioned by Dave Henningsson in reply #84 and that is exactly what an ignorant exile from Win XP was looking for. Easy to install, well packaged, no learning of command line fiddles and easy to use for a Linux first timer. Thanks Dave. If it was that easy without searching then I guess more ex XP users would migrate rather than give up and go away. Incidentally - Dave said he hadn't fully tested this build - I have given it quite a bending and have found no problems so far. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/930447 Title: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/930447/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
